Report has Penn State’s Bill O’Brien on Cardinals list of candidates

The list of candidates for the Arizona Cardinals head coaching job now includes a college coach.

According to PennLive.com the Cardinals are one of three teams that plan to interview Penn State’s Bill O’Brien.

O’Brien went 8-4 in his first season as the coach in Happy Valley.

Before taking over the Penn State program, O’Brien had been the offensive coordinator for the New England Patriots. Should he leave the Nittany Lions for the NFL, the team that hires him will owe the school a $9.2 million buyout, according to ESPN’s Darren Rovell.
